UK Back Pages: Jose Mourinho on the Brink as Chelsea Lose at Leicester

Leicester City’s 2-1 win at Chelsea dominates the back pages in the UK, as the Foxes returned to the top of the Premier League table.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez scored the goals for Claudio Ranieri’s side, heaping more pressure on Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

Indeed, the Independent claims that defeat at the King Power Stadium—Chelsea’s ninth of the season in the league—leaves Mourinho on the brink.

The others opted to focus on the brilliance of Vardy and Mahrez, who have now scored 26 goals between them in the English top flight compared to Chelsea’s combined total of 18.

Headlines ranged from “We’re Going to Win the League” to “Unbeatable,” suggesting that momentum is growing behind Leicester’s charge at the top of the table.

It all leaves two questions; how long does Mourinho have to turn it around at Stamford Bridge, and can anyone stop the mighty Foxes?
